National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening! Emerald Goddess Liriope is a striking, low maintenance clumping perennial prized for its tall arching dark green foliage and long lasting lavender flower spikes that rise prominently above the leaves each mid summer. It maintains color through mild winters and shows excellent resistance to crown rot and common diseases that trouble many other lily turf varieties. Use it for border edging, mass plantings, groundcover on slopes or banks, and as a textured backdrop in mixed beds. Its drought tolerance and deer resistance make it particularly appealing for landscapes in hot regions or those with active wildlife. In colder zones, protect the crown in winter or grow in containers to preserve its evergreen appearance.
